About KFS Recruitment Portal
- The Kenya Forest Service, operating under the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change, and Forestry, has initiated the recruitment of 4,000 individuals to work as tree nursery attendants for the ‘Green Army’ project. These attendants will play a crucial role in supporting the national tree growing and ecosystem restoration program, which aims to reach a target of 15 billion trees. Their responsibilities will include propagating seedlings, participating in tree planting activities, and providing extension services.
- This initial group of 4,000 recruits will serve as the first phase of the Green Army program, which is intended to eventually benefit 100,000 young individuals. The Green Army, consisting of young individuals, will engage in seedling propagation and assist in providing services related to tree cultivation. The recruitment of these 4,000 tree nursery attendants will be on a one-year contract, subject to renewal based on funding availability and satisfactory performance.
- The selected attendants will be assigned to the 300 tree nurseries operated by the KFS across the country. Their tasks will involve various activities such as seed sowing, wilding, potting of seedlings, and other related responsibilities. The attendants will receive a monthly wage ranging from Kshs 8,613 to Kshs 16,401, depending on their duty stations. They will also be eligible for health insurance coverage from the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) and the National Social Security Fund (NSSF).
- This recruitment of 4,000 attendants follows the recent employment of 2,700 forest rangers and the ongoing hiring process for 600 foresters. These initiatives are part of the efforts to reposition the forestry sector as a significant driver of the economy.
